Can we be certain that these were actual federal officers and not some Black Water or Russian-type mercenaries dressed up and on orders from the White House? Did they probe the detainees then partially erase their memories with a flashing stick device?
The whole videolooks staged by actors. But sure, let someone get a clear video of the event while otherwise looking like dweebs.

The New York Toilet Paper Times wrote it so it must be true. There story of Trump colluding with Russia is one of the biggest examples of malpractice in journalism ever. It was never retracted and no apologies were given. They knew it was nothing more than a coup attempt when they released it.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

You can't post without fu-cking lying, can you?

Fu-cking hypocritical religious assholes. Nobody lies as consistently as a fu-cking Christian.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

LOL. I love it when Ajax and Sub claim that something is fake news at the same time Trump is confirming that it's not fake.

Yeah, just like Trump's press secretary is often embarrassed by Trump confirming something she has already denied Trump has said or done.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

All of this was too much for Lincoln Project strategist Steve Schmidt, who is calling on Gov. Brown to call out the National Guard to arrest the DHS troops.
I don't know how well that would work, but I wish they would try it!

They are simply doing their job as they understand it. It is hard to second guess Trump, the handlers at the Kremlin, and Shub-Niggurath of Mars.

And I have little doubt that if the Democrat's were accused of something similar, however falsely, they would both vociferously condemn them for it and adamantly deny any possibility that it was merely fake news.
